Residents Cover-Up as Man Defiles 3-Year-Old

The youths of Apata community in the Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State have accused the community chairman, Rufus Jagun, of trying to cover up the defilement of a three-year-old in the community.

Punch Metro learnt that a resident of the community, 23-year-old Christopher Arigidi, last Wednesday allegedly raped the three-year-old.

It was gathered that Arigidi, who attended a naming ceremony in the community, took the victim to his house and allegedly defiled her.


Punch correspondent learnt that Arigidi rubbed some engine oil on the victim’s private parts before committing the act.

One of the youths, Oshodi Ibeji, said Arigidi took the victim away under the guise of playing with her.

He said, “The suspect and some people were sitting together at the function; all of a sudden, the guy stood up and said he wanted to go and change his cloth at home.

“As he was going, he took the girl along with him; the mother of the victim saw him when he was going.

“When the mother went back home, she did not see her daughter so she went to Argigidi’s house and found out that the girl had been defiled.

“After discovering what happened, she reported to the youths who went to the man’s house to beat him up. He was later taken to the community chairman. He initially denied it but later confessed that he did it.”

Ibeji, however, said the youths were not happy with the way the community chairman was handling the case.

He noted that Arigidi’s family came to beg the chairman and he had released the suspect to them.

He said, “The youths are not happy with the action of the chairman, they want him to punish the suspect.”

The victim’s mother, Pouma Ologun, said when she saw Arigidi taking her daughter away, she thought nothing of it.

Pouma said, “When I saw my daughter with Christopher (Arigidi), I asked him where he was going to and he said he wanted to buy something, so I left him alone.

 “Later, I went to Christopher’s house to call my daughter, and as she was coming out, she was looking at her clothes. I drew her nearer and I saw oil on her laps, I asked her where she got oil from but she was just looking at me.

“When we got home, I removed her clothes and I saw oil in her private parts too, I called one of my friends who later told me that my daughter had been raped.

“When I asked my daughter who touched her, she mentioned Christopher’s name.”

Pouma said she wanted justice for her daughter, adding that she wanted the community to deal with
Arigidi.

When contacted, the community chairman, Jagun, denied releasing Christopher to his family.

He said, “I was not around when it happened but when I got back, I was told what happened. I told some people to lock him up in a room since we don’t have a police station in our community.

“The decision to take him to a police station lies in the hand of the victim’s father because the nearest police station to our community is very far.”

Couple Arrested For Kissing During Driving Lesson In Saudi Arabia

A couple in Saudi Arabia have been arrested after the man kissed the woman then posted footage of it on social media. It was captioned ‘teaching her how to drive’ then posted on Snapchat, but the incident has landed them in trouble.

Saudi Arabia has only just started allowing women to drive with the first group only receiving their licences in June this year.

The move was seen as part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s far-reaching liberalisation drive as he seeks to modernise the conservative state.

However, following the kiss in the car, this couple now face jail in the ultra-conservative country.

French Parliament Bans Use Of Phones In Schools

The French parliament has approved a far-reaching ban on mobile phones in schools, radio broadcaster Franceinfo reported on Monday following the result of the vote in the National Assembly.

The law fundamentally bans the use of mobile phones in all preschools and primary schools, as well as middle school. The move had been a campaign demand by centrist President Emmanuel Macron.

French students are already not allowed to use their mobile phones during class, and each school can decide individually to implement rules that go even further.

With the new law, that position will be reversed: The use of mobile phones is generally banned in the entire school, with each one deciding to make exceptions to that rule.

Crocodile Bites Handler Hard In Front Of Spectators While Performing Stunt (Photos)

This is the moment a reptile handler was attacked by a crocodile in front of horrified spectators after he put his arm inside the creature’s mouth.

The handler, a 45-year-old named Tao, was performing the stunt at the Phokkathara zoo in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand, in front of around 100 people on Sunday afternoon.

As he reached inside the crocodile's jaws while another keeper looked on, Tao looked at the audience and told the announcer to stop the music.

Then, the reptile suddenly clamped down around Tao's forearm before shaking him violently from side to side.


The keeper was heard letting out an agonising scream before managing to free himself and staggering away with blood dripping on the wet tiles.

The incident was captured on camera by Khun Phusawit, 35, who was visiting the Phokkathara Crocodile Farm and zoo with his wife Nok and their two children.

'The show was very good until that happened. I hope that the man is OK and he gets better soon,’ he said.

'Everybody was shocked when it happened. The kids were a little bit scared.’

He added: 'I've watched the clip back many times to see how it happened and the crocodile seems to not like having the hand in his mouth.'

Dong Wittawat, the owner of the crocodile park, said on Monday that the trainer who had been bitten was treated at the farm and is ‘fine.’

'He was was treated at the farm with bandaging,’ Mr Wittawat said.

‘He loves crocodiles and he will be working again soon in the next two weeks. It is very rare for this to happen.'

The Phokkathara Crocodile Farm houses dozens of different types of animals and offers a live show for visitors.

Ericmanny Runtown’s Former Label Starts Fresh War With Him For Allegedly Going Against A Court Injunction

An Abuja High Court has fixed 8th August, 2018 for Runtown to appear before it and give reasons why he went against a court injunction made on 10th May, 2018.

A statement by Eric Many reads;

‘’Recall that we served a Contempt Warning from Court on Runtown on 4th July, 2018 after he defied Court Order and released a song.

Rather than heed the Contempt Warning and retrace his steps, he issued a Press Release in which he argued that the Injunction had expired.


The Injunction was to stop things until the hearing of our Motion seeking to freeze activities until a decision on his status (whether he had discharged his obligations to us or not) is taken. It barred him from performing or releasing songs for the time being’.

The legal advice we received was that Runtown was wrong in his interpretation of the Rules of Court he relied on since he was already served with our Motion and was represented in Court on 31st May, 2018 when the Court adjourned to 27th September, 2018 to hear the Motion and the one filed by Runtown himself!

To turn around after that day to proceed to do what the Order barred him from doing, and what the Motion served on him (adjourned in his presence) seeks to stop, is unjustifiable under the 7-Days Rule he relied upon. That could probably apply to a person against whom an interim injunction was obtained without more’.

‘Based on this, we have done two things: One, we have obtained a ‘FORM 49’ against him to explain why he should not be sent to prison, especially when he continued to publicize fixtures for shows in Canada, Namibia, Europe etc and threaten to release more songs, both actions in defiance of the Court Order.

The application (now fixed for 8th August) has been served on him in the Punch as ordered by the Court.

Two, since we will not allow him to continue to mock the Court Order we have applied and obtained a new Injunction to stop his actions to protect the Contempt Case.

The new injunction bars him from his threatened defiant actions in Canada, Namibia, Europe etc. We believe the new Injunction has not also ‘expired’ and hope he respects the Court this time.

Please bear in mind that our main case in Court boils down to whether Runtown has discharged his monetary obligations to us and delivered one Album to us as spelt out in our Contract. He has responded, so it will be good to allow the Court to decide what each party filed.

Let both sides apply restraint. As we always say, Ericmany Limited will continue to follow the judicial process. We have confidence in the Rule of Law and will continue to patiently follow the due process until the wrong done to us by Runtown after our heavy investment on him is redressed’’, the statement ended.

Robert Mugabe Addresses Nation For First Time Since Stepping Down As President

Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe has emerged to address the nation hours before Monday's historic election, declaring: 'I will not vote for those who have illegally taken power.'

In a slow and rambling address, his first since stepping down in November, the 94-year-old spoke to reporters about the circumstances of his removal under military pressure after a ruling party feud.

He was coy about endorsing a candidate ahead of the election in which the former deputy he fired, President Emmerson Mnangagawa, faces 40-year-old lawyer and pastor Nelson Chamisa.

'I cannot vote for those who have tormented me,' Mr Mugabe said, in a reference to Mr Mnangagwa, who took office with the military's support. 'I cannot vote for Zanu-PF,' the ruling party he long controlled.


Mr Mugabe, who has backed a new political party that is part of a coalition supporting Mr Chamisa, said: 'He seems to be doing well at his rallies.'

He added: 'Whoever wins, we wish him well. And let us accept the verdict.'
Many in Zimbabwe knew no other leader but Mr Mugabe, who led the country for 37 years and since independence from white minority rule in 1980.

What began with optimism crumbled into repression, alleged vote-rigging, intimidation of the opposition, violent land seizures from white farmers and years of international sanctions.
The country hopes a credible vote on Monday could get the sanctions lifted and bring badly needed investment for a collapsed economy.

Mr Mnangagwa, a former Mugabe confidante, has tried to recast himself as a voice for reform, inviting back dozens of election observers and pledging a free and fair vote.

'I have during all this time liked our return to conditionality, our return to legality, an environment in which our people are free,' Mr Mugabe told reporters.

But he blamed 'evil and malicious characters' for his removal from power, which was met with a joyous outpouring by thousands in the capital, Harare. He said he resigned to avoid 'bloodshed'

25-Year-Old Man Hangs Self In Ondo

                                
A man identified as Ayo Paul has been found dead in his apartment in the Aule area of Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The incident, which according to a source happened on Saturday, was said to have amazed the neighbours of the deceased as he was described as a gentlemen.

The reason for the action of the 25-old man was said to be unknown, but the source said it was the landlord of the deceased that opened his door when he did not see paul on Saturday for the monthly environmental sanitation.

The source said, “Nobody knows reason Ayo committed suicide because he was a gentleman and he never had issue with anybody.


 “When he did not come out for the monthly environmental sanitation, his landlord went to look for him and on opening his room; the landlord found his lifeless body dangling. The landlord immediately raised the alarm.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Femi Joseph, confirmed the incident and said the command had started investigation.

He said, “We don’t know the reason why the man took such action, but we have commenced investigation into the incident.”

Teenage Assassin That Kill For N10,000

                          

A female member of a notorious cult arrested by the police in Lagos has made a startling revelation on how she killed members of rival cult groups and any other person for a fee of N10,000.

While speaking when she was paraded by the Police in Lagos on Monday, a 20-year-old self-confessed sniper of the dreaded Eiye confraternity, Mariam Abiola, revealed how she killed four rival gang members in the Ilasamaja area of the state.

The young girl who admitted dropping out of school in SS3, was arrested on Monay morning together with three male accomplices by a police team from the Ilasamaja division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, Chief Superintendent Titilayo Oriyomi.

While making her confessions to police interrogators, she said it was easier for her to operate unnoticed wearing a hijab, adding that a member of her gang she described as an herbalist always prepared charms for her before she embarked on any major operation.

"He said I needed to blend into the system by being a member of the Eiye confraternity. I agreed. Thereafter, Sadiq taught me how to use a gun. By the time I went through training three times, I knew how to fire accurately. “Anytime I was going to kill, Sadiq would give me the person's picture and send the address to my phone. I usually wore a white male flowing gown and white hijab whenever we were going to kill any rival member. "We always went in a group of four, including Wasiu and Segun. The gun was usually tucked inside my white flowing gown. On getting to the target's house, which was usually at night, other members would jump through the fence and open the gate for me. I would enter and fire the person in the chest and forehead before leaving there.

“I have killed four persons. None of our targets survived. I killed one guy at Fadeyi area of Lagos. Another one at Hassan area, one at Ajeh area. At the end of each killing, Sadiq would pay me N10,000 and five others N20,000. "I had struck at Fabiyi, Hassan and Aje streets and another street, all in Ilasamaja. Before we leave for any killing, we would visit the herbalist who would give us charms to put residents to sleep until the operation is concluded. I never felt bad killing anybody.Meanwhile, Sadiq also admitted being a member of the Eiye confraternity but denied knowing Abiola. Speaking on the arrest, Lagos State commissioner of police, CP Imohimi Edgal said, "It is shocking to see a young lady of Abiola's age talk of killings. Parents should do more by monitoring their children. "It is worrisome that her confession are startling, chronicling the number of killings. Apart from being an assassin, she was also an armourer for her gang.”

Man Kills Lover After ‘Finding’ Condoms In Her Bag

A 46-year old man identified as Osaremwinda Omobude Idumwonyi has reportedly stabbed his lover to death for allegedly finding condoms in her bag.

The deceased, who is a single mother of three children, was stabbed with a kitchen knife three times in her mother’s room at No. 13, Ehiyoboy Street, Off Aifuwa Street, Ikpoba-Okha local government area of Edo State.

The woman was killed few hours after she left her lover’s residence where she spent the night.

A 19-year-old man, Junior Omo Shaba, had last week killed his 18- year- old girlfriend, Matilda Odiri, and dumped her corpse by the roadside.


It has not been ascertained if the condoms were found inside the woman’s bag while she was with him the previous night or during the day when he entered her aged-mother’s rented apartment.

Our correspondent gathered that the suspect told police investigators that he killed his lover in self defence.

According to him, the deceased picked a kitchen knife to stab him when an argument ensued between them but he overpowered and stabbed her.

The woman was rushed to hospital where she later died.

Police recovered the knife in the suspect’s kitchen.

The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, said police is still investigating the incident.

Check Out Why Faith Evan Marriage To Notorious BIG was omitted From Her Certificate

                                      
Faith Evans married Notorious B.I.G. in '94, but you wouldn't know it based on her recent marriage license, it makes no mention of her marriage to the legendary rapper -- but Faith is blaming the court for the error.

TMZ obtained a copy of Faith's marriage license documents and in it she lists her marriage to Stevie J as marriage no. 2. The document references her divorce from Todd Russaw back in 2012, and that's the other marriage. So, what happened to Biggie?

As you know, Faith and Biggie tied the knot back in August of 1994 within days of meeting each other. They separated shortly before his 1997 murder.


As for why the document seems to overlook the Faith/Biggie union. Faith tells the publication, the clerk at the marriage license bureau screwed up. She insists she told the clerk the marriage with Stevie was her 3rd.

Evans adds, "Biggie was my first true love, he will always be acknowledged as such. Everyone knows he was my husband."

Faith and Stevie got married in their Vegas hotel room last week. The secret wedding, however, blindsided family and friends who aren't happy about it.

4 stands were set up in Hidden Hills and one at The Commons at Calabasas ... all giving away free goodies.

Sources close to the giveaway say Drake did it to promote his new album and lyrics are plastered on the sides of the Ice Cream Occasions carts and because he thought it'd be a "cool thing to do on a hot day for the community."


The community kids however appreciated it!!! 

Ciara & Husband Storm Nickelodeon Award

Her husband, Russell Wilson, has hosted the awards no less than three times. So it's little surprise that Ciara and the 29-year-old NFL quarterback took to the red carpet of the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards 2018 on Thursday with her kids, son Future and daughter Sierra.

Her Seattle Seahawks star husband carried on his wife's white theme, pairing a white top with pristine sneakers.

The mother brought her second child Sienna Princess Wilson -aged one- into the world 10 months after her dream wedding to Russell in July 2016.

Sparks started flying when they started dating in 2015 and the couple went onto announce their engagement in March 2016.

Amir Khan Blasted After Calling Caitlyn Jenner 'Bruce'

Amir Khan has been accused of 'transphobia' after he incorrectly labelled a shot of himself and Caitlyn Jenner with the caption, 'Bruce Jenner'.

Caitlyn, 68, legally changed her name three years ago following her transition from male to female, and fans were not remotely impressed by boxer Amir's error.

"Amir Khan is not funny for calling Caitlin Jenner Bruce he demonstrates what a transphobic **** he is," raged one.

"Amir khan had a pic with caitlyn jenner on his story and the caption was ‘bruce jenner’ lmaooo," wrote a second, while another added, "Amir Khan calling Caitlyn Jenner ‘Bruce Jenner’ at the ESPYS though !!! KILLED ME!"


The faux pas unfolded after the sports stars posed for a picture at the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Mirror Online has contacted reps for Amir and Caitlyn for comment

Meghan Markle's Dad Celebrates Birthday Alone

Thomas Markle Sr. has celebrated his 74th birthday alone by eating a McDonald's Happy Meal and shopping in Los Angeles just days after revealing he has lost all contact with his daughter Meghan.

The Duchess of Sussex's estranged father was spotted out on Wednesday visiting the fast food restaurant and running errands at a Bank of America and UPS store.

Later, Markle Sr. was pictured heading to a Best Buy store to pick up a number of small electronics, which he then took with him when he went to visit friends in a nearby apartment complex.

Markle Sr. had left his home in Rosarito, Mexico on Tuesday night, the eve of his birthday, and drove the six hours in heavy traffic to check into a $130-a-night motel in Los Angeles.

His birthday celebrations came the day after Meghan and Prince Harry carried out their royal duties by visiting The Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition in London.

Meghan's father has repeatedly spoken out to the media ever since it emerged just days before the royal wedding that he had secretly collaborated with a British paparazzi photographer to set up 'candid' photos of himself preparing for the big day.

Days later, the former Hollywood lighting director, who was set to walk Meghan down the aisle, infamously pulled out of wedding, claiming he had suffered a heart attack and needed emergency surgery.

A source close to the Duchess of Sussex told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Markle Sr. was never ill and faked the operation as an excuse to not attend the royal wedding and garner sympathy.
'The whole story about Meghan's father undergoing heart surgery was made up,' the source said.

'He had to come up with a good enough reason not to attend her wedding and avoid any further embarrassment after those staged photos went public.'

During his recent bombshell interview on ITV's Good Morning Britain, the former lighting director said he was admitted to the Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, just a few miles north of the Mexican border in Tijuana, where a stent was fitted.

But when DailyMail.com reached out to the hospital for confirmation of his May 16 visit, the clinic replied that 'no such name' had ever checked into the hospital.

'The poor health story was his way of generating some compassion from the public, and taking the attention off those staged photos which were a complete embarrassment to Meghan and the royal family,' the source said.

'Of course Meghan is upset with him. Her father missed her wedding. He missed walking her down the isle all because of that ill-conceived publicity stunt.
'It was really just such poor judgement on his part. Now everyone's feeling sorry for him. They shouldn't. He brought this upon himself and if he were truly sick Meghan would have made an effort to visit him. Don't feel sorry for him. If anything, feel sorry for Meghan.'

Since the wedding, Markle Sr. has given a number of paid media interviews speaking about his daughter and the royal family.

The father-of-three recently revealed he isn't fazed by reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are fed up with him running to the media and he vowed to continue speaking about Meghan until he can be part of her life again.
He said this week that he hadn't spoken to his daughter in two months and that he could no longer reach her on the phone number he had for her.

Markle Sr. told The Sun this week that the former Suits actor was 'terrified' of her new life as a royal.

'I see it in her eyes,' he said.

'I see it in her face and I see it in her smile. I've seen her smile for years. I know her smile. I don't like the one I'm seeing now. This one isn't even a stage smile - this is a pained smile.

'It really worries me. I think she's under too much pressure. There's a high price to pay to be married to that family'.

Checkout Why Tattoo Addict Removes His Pen!s, Testicles & Nipples

A man who has had 90% of his body covered in black ink has now decided to have his genitals removed.

Adam Curlykale, 32, from Kaliningrad in Russia, decided to start tattooing his body, including his eyeballs, with black ink after he was diagnosed with cancer 12 years ago.

The 32-year-old, who also has albinism, says he started tattooing himself because he felt depressed by his pale skin.

And after getting almost 90% of his body covered, Adam felt that his penis ruined his look so he paid to undergo the extreme surgery.


He has now shared pictures with his fans on social media after having his penis, nipples and testicles removed.

Adam became famous in 2017 after taking part in the TV show ‘Second Face’ in Poland where he said he wanted the tattoos to cover the blemishes that were left behind by the cancer.

He eventually beat the cancer but while in recovery he had been left with a weakened immune system and was depressed by this and the fact that his skin looked sickly and pale.

When doctors diagnosed him with albinism, he had started adding tattoos, and discovered a passion for the art once he saw the results.

He said: ‘I always knew that I was different from the rest of society. My favourite colour for example has always have been grey, in different tones, and that’s why my current skin colour is graphite.

Billionaire Tonye Cole Surprises Wife With A Brand New Mercedes SUV On Their 23rd Wedding Anniversary

 Executive Director/Co-Founder at Sahara Group Ltd, Tonye Cole and his wife celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary yesterday and he let part of his private life out. The billionaire went all out celebrating the ONLY woman in his life. People have not been able to swallow the words he used to describe his wife not to talk of her brand new Mercedes SUV gift from him.  Speaking about his wife and appreciating her role in his life, the Billionaire wrote… continue below…

“As we celebrate 23 years together, I want you to know that I have discovered in loving you that my heart is capable of discovering higher levels of love I hitherto never knew possible or existing.
    There is much to say but let me share this short ode to you, a public declaration of my love to you.    How much love can love take?    My darling, My sweetheart, My love, My heart    These are but a few names I love to hear,    They fall short, far short of who you are,    But words have always fallen short where you are concerned.
    My heartthrob, My beauty, My lovely, My own,    Phrases I love to think of you by.    In moments of aloneness, in lands afar,    My soul is restored by mere recollection of these few words.
    My lover, My friend, My confidant, My soul    Descriptions I cherish when thinking of you.    Walking by my side or standing afar off,    I am confident in the knowledge that our love is genuine.
    My partner, My companion, My jewel, My pride.    Expressions I adore when thoughts of you abate.    You are forever my love and eternally my life.    Together we shall be and never to part.
    My love, My lover, My loveliest, My Lolita    Nothing can ever take you from me.    In living I die to always be yours,    In dying I live for you alone.
    And so I end with a thought in mind    That you have been and are and always will be    The greatest gift of all that God could give.
    I love you baby today, tomorrow and forevermore.”
